Unity Sunday Apr 25 - Earth Day Celebration

Unity

Positive, Practical Christianity

http://sites.google.com/site/unityinwv/

Sunday, Apr 25, 2010 at 11:00 am - at BRIDGE ROAD 

"Earth Day Celebration"
How can we honor this amazing creation? How can we find harmony within and without? How can we have less impact, leave less of a footprint on this Earth? Are these good questions to be considering?  The challenge for this Sunday: consider coming to church in a new way (walking? biking? horseback?). Consider walking the carriage trail before or after church - it is wonderful!


Friday, Apr 23 - Open Stage for Kids
"The most innocent half hour in all of Charleston" Starts at 6:30, finishes by 7:15


Saturday, Apr 24 at 10am
The renovations continue :)
 

Pray for Others

I connect with Spirit as I pray for others.

When I pray, I connect deeply with Spirit and know I am one with the Divine. In this oneness, I feel connected to my family, friends and community and to all people.

When I pray for another--perhaps someone with a health concern, facing a financial situation or dealing with a family issue--I open myself to Spirit and to the connection we all share. I may pray for the renewal of this person's health, prosperity or peace. However, my prayer for any one person is in truth a prayer for the world. It represents our divine connection.

When I pray for others, just as when I pray for myself, I know my prayers are answered. In thanks, I know that all is well.

And we continue to be amazed at how the Universe has brought together so many talented and generous people, with exactly the expertise that we needed, just at the right time. Demonstrations Abound!!!

And Remember:
You are a Child of God!  You are a Blessing!

Sky

We are a demonstration of God's unconditional Love

We realize our Oneness and honor our uniqueness

Thank you God for the miracle that is my life!

"Peace be with You: Thomas recognizes the Christ"
As the risen Christ appears to the disciples, Thomas has a remarkable interchange. Dubbed by many as "Doubting Thomas" we will take a second look at this story, and consider how it may apply to us today.

Radical Forgiveness Workshop this Sunday, April 18, at the Folded Leaf

The Magic of Radical Forgiveness with Melissa White 1- 6 p.m

This introductory workshop helps you to "magically" clear your consciousness from the influence of the many past negative influences that have held you back, limited your potential and kept you from being all that you can be. It includes the Radical Forgiveness Ceremony which enables you to forgive virtually everyone in your whole life who has ever hurt you, and to forgive yourself for hurting others. It also includes another powerful process that enables you to radically forgive one particular person or situation in your life - perhaps the one it has been hardest to forgive. In addition, it includes a beautiful ceremony for healing the male/female gender divide. Besides finding the experiential processes life-changing in the moment, participants leave feeling excited about what Radical Forgiveness offers them as a way of creating what they want in their lives. Cost: $80   PLEASE CLICK HERE TO REGISTER ONLINE.
